We need:
- 1 lb young asparagus
- 40 gr butter
- 3 onions, sliced
- 600 ml vegetable stock or water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup single cream
- salt and freshly grounded black pepper
Trim the stalks of the asparagus and cut 1 inch off the tops of the asparagus and set aside for a garnish.
Melt 25 gr of butter in a large pan and gently fry the sliced onions for 2-3 minutes until soft, but not brown, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced asparagus and fry over a gentle heat for about 1 minute.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the stock or water and lemon juice and season to taste. Bring to the boil and then simmer, partially covered, for 15-20 minutes, until the asparagus is very tender.
Process the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add the milk.
Melt the remaining butter and fry the reserved asparagus tips gently for about 3-4 minutes to soften.
Heat the soup for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cream an the asparagus tips. Continue to heat gently and serve.
Enjoy!
